This proposed approach is expected to improve patient outcome and challenge the present clinical paradigm of prescribing AFOs for stroke survivors with foot-drop. [grantome.com]
For example, if your foot is weakened and you suffer from foot drop, the use of a supportive foot brace (or an ankle-foot orthotic) might be needed. [flintrehab.com]

Major complications, including intracranial hemorrhage, may leave permanent sequelae. The diagnosis requires a string-of-beads appearance of the cerebral arteries and complete or near-complete resolution on repeat imaging in 12 weeks. [journals.lww.com]

- Hypoglycemia
In newborns, hypoglycemia is the most common metabolic disorder, and there are many reports describing hypoglycemia-induced brain injury in this phase of life3. [scielo.br]
Hemiparesis induced by hypoglycemia has been described as far back as 1928 [2]. [hindawi.com]
The existence of cases in which hypoglycemia cannot be distinguished from stroke on imaging studies suggests the importance of measurement of the blood glucose level when the symptoms of stroke are first recognized. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Etiology
OBJECTIVE: To investigate whether time since stroke onset, etiology, and lesion side is associated with spatiotemporal and angular gait parameters of individuals with chronic stroke. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
In contrast to adults, hemiparesis in children occurs secondary to a variety of etiological conditions. [ruralneuropractice.com]
However, any individual case is important in order to increase the awareness of hypoglycemia as an important etiology of this condition. 1. Introduction Hypoglycemia could have different clinical presentations [1]. [hindawi.com]

Pathophysiology
Multiple pathophysiologic mechanisms are possible for this unusual phenomenon and has been previously described. Its implication in therapeutic decision making in a patient with an acute emergent condition has never been discussed. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
At present, the pathophysiology behind hypoglycemia-induced hemiparesis is unclear. [hindawi.com]
The historically proposed pathophysiology of ictal hemiparesis is that of inhibition of the somatosensory and motor areas of the cortex. [journals.cambridge.org]
Prevention
However, these trials did not examine prevention of subluxation and only one examined prevention of contracture and improvement in function. [doi.org]

The simulation creates real understanding for those concerned and supports stroke prevention. The hemiparesis simulator is independent from size and side of the body and can be used both alone and in combination with the age simulation suit GERT. [age-simulation-suit.com]
Seizure is the most debilitating condition, as it greatly impairs quality of life in both the affected individuals and their caregivers and prevents them from active social participation. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
